Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

Tianyuan's figure vanished without a trace, like a bubble popped by a toothpick.

Then Tianyuan's voice rang out from all directions, even from inside Su Nuo's body, brain, style, and spittoon.

The cursed spirit Xia Jie escaped death by chance because she lacked class and was disgusting.

"What I just manifested was merely a dreamlike illusion formed by the combination of the four elements. Unless your strike can sever the heavens and earth themselves, it will absolutely not be able to harm me in my current state."

Chapter 21 Extreme Battle: River of Death

As if to prove his point, hundreds of Tianyuan appeared in the Hongxing Palace, allowing Su Nuo to kill them with his slashes.

Faced with Tengen, who died and came back to life repeatedly, multiplying like cockroaches the more you killed them, the more they seemed to multiply.

Just a few seconds later, Su Nu stopped his slashing attack.

The experienced Nuo master had already discerned the clues from the brief exchange, and combined with the information given by Xia Jie, he understood the true nature of the "person" before him.

"So that's how it is. The soul is integrated into all things in heaven and earth, becoming a perpetually unfolding, self-aware living realm?"

As a domain, you can freely manipulate most phenomena within it, such as spatial transfer of objects. The reason you didn't stop me from swallowing my finger before was because you were focused on assimilating Gao Yu and couldn't spare the time to trip me up.

And I am inside you right now, aren't I?"

Seeing that Tianyuan remained calm, Su Nuo's bloodshot eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

"Tell me, how would you feel if I expanded my domain within your body?"

"Just like the realm of the sun car, I probably won't feel anything. After all, with this world as my body, I don't even have pain receptors anymore. Even if you really hurt me, I won't feel any pain."

The Heavenly Origin has no concept of the Dao.

Having evolved to a higher dimension, it detached itself from the human body, along with its five senses and the ability to think.

However, its soul is forcibly maintained by the immortality spell, and once the soul is completely integrated into the world, it doesn't know how much of its consciousness will remain.

But it dared not gamble.

Even if one's soul were to eternally perish in the void of darkness devoid of the five senses, would one still retain a sliver of consciousness?

That would be eternal torment.

Therefore, it used a barrier to suppress this "evolution," confining the main part of its soul within the empty barrier of the Hōsei Palace.

He used barrier magic to reshape his body and simulate the five senses of a human, barely maintaining his rationality as a "human".

If it possesses the art of spirit manipulation, it might go even further, pressing the generalized mind and soul back into the abandoned body.

Now that it has obtained Gao Yu's almost omnipotent technique, it has this opportunity.

"Is that so? If my domain breaks through the emptiness barrier that binds your soul, where will your soul flow to... Strange, why is my desire to express myself like this... Is this your doing, Tianyuan!?" Su Nu stopped his incessant chatter, his face turning cold, and a deep sense of apprehension surfaced in his eyes.

"Gao Yu's techniques can accomplish anything as long as one subjectively finds them funny."

Perhaps it's because compared to my arduous journey of a thousand years, everything now seems joyful. In any case, I mastered the technique very easily.

Also, I need to correct you on something.

The void barrier that binds my soul is not just this one; in the labyrinth from the Kukulak to the Hidden Star Palace, every room is a void barrier, and every void barrier holds a part of my self. Even if you have the ability to destroy them all, the superior barrier will become my new anchor.

Secondly, I can use the Void Barrier to dismantle closed domains. Even if you have an open domain, it's just a little harder for me to dismantle it now.

To be more specific, it's not much harder than opening a completely closed pistachio.

Perhaps it was the loneliness of the thousand years spent in the Hōsei Palace, or perhaps it was just to buy time, but the lonely old man named Tengen was now answering every question.

This greatly satisfied Xia Jie's curiosity.

Logically, he should have reminded Sukuna, who had become a chatterbox under Tengen's influence, earlier, so that the two of them could have joined forces to destroy the Hōsei Palace and disrupt Tengen's plans.

But that's... the mindset of a loser!

He wanted to see what kind of amazing feat this old Bi Deng from Tianyuan could pull off.

Plans are plans, and practice is practice.

If Tianyuan Laodeng can defeat him and implement his so-called human bleaching plan, then he will not take revenge on Tianyuan after the reload for the hatred he felt for being betrayed by Tianyuan in this challenge.

They were even willing to buy a box of pistachios to show their care for elderly people living alone.

"Leave it to me, Master Nuo. Watch me demonstrate the Five Elements Summoning Technique for you."

Seeing that Su Nuo was about to launch into a long speech again under the influence of Gao Yu's magic, Xia Jie, who felt that she had given Tian Yuan enough time to prepare, interrupted him.

"Cough cough."

Xia Jie cleared her throat, then inserted her right hand into her heart and began chanting a spell.

"My name is the bird of Hermes, which devours its own wings to control my heart—"

"—The Ultimate Strike: River of Death!"

Blood, fresh blood, a lot of blood.

More blood, nothing but blood, and nothing but blood.

Crimson blood flowed across the ground, turning the Palace of Death into an endless blood-soaked hell.

While Su Nuo and Tian Yuan were giving each other NPC-style explanations, Xia Jie, who had secretly set up dozens of small bindings that could enhance spell power and spell output without breaking through causal resistance, finally had her moment in the spotlight.

An inexhaustible torrent of cursed blood gushed forth from his heart, transforming into fountains, streams, and rivers.

The ten-meter-diameter blood drill ripped the top of the Star Palace off, piercing all the way to the ground, where it bloomed into a twenty-meter-diameter blood lotus on the surface of the outermost corner of the High School Barrier.

With an unlimited supply of cursed blood, the Blood Lotus rapidly expanded into a super lotus with a stem over a thousand meters tall and a radius of nearly a hundred meters.

Then comes the true blossoming.

When Su Nuo released the Stove Opening, Xia Jie clearly sensed the strange changes in the nature of Su Nuo's cursed power from the soon-to-bloom Ten Thousand Deaths Flame, and tried her best to remember it.

And after becoming the complete form, it comes with a high-cost constraint: "Give up the immortality of the cursed spirit, live to the end of today and die, in exchange for a significant increase in my cursed abilities within today."

She forcibly learned to transform the nature of her curse power and developed a powerful technique called "Burning Blood" that was unique to Xia Jie.

It doesn't involve igniting real flames through the cooking technique like Sukuna.

Rather, it's closer to a technique like "Crimson Scales Leaping," which involves squeezing and guiding the blood's own potential.

It's just a step further.

As a cursed spirit born from the murderous intent towards the killer, Xia Jie drew upon the fury of murderous intent from her cursed blood, causing her blood to boil violently.

Then, in the Ultimate Chapter, it was briefly pushed to an even higher level, which was:

"The Ultimate Chapter - Sequel: Blood Core Fission!"

The interior of the crimson lotus platform began to boil and collide, but it was firmly restrained within by the blood crystal shell, undergoing an even more intense transformation of magical power.

A moment later, the lotus began to burn.

It was a blood-red flame.

The blood flames enveloped the lotus, replacing the molten blood crystals, and continued to restrain the high-density curse power hidden within.

Finally, the lotus began to glow.

At this moment, the boundless crimson light surpassed even the blazing sun that sat atop the heavens.

Even people outside of Tokyo could hear the deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

Then, amidst the omnipresent anger and murderous intent, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

The sorcerer could even see a blood-red mushroom cloud rising slowly from the ground.

Like a crimson sun

It spreads boundless malice among humanity.

Many of the older sorcerers from the Gojo and Kamo families were nearly speechless with shock. Trembling, they uttered in unison:

"Laughing in the grass, Yuan!"

Chapter 22 Two Revolving Lights in One Minute

The moment the red mushroom cloud rose, outdoor sorcerers throughout the Kanto Plain observed the crimson blood sun.

After killing the Fiery Steed, the Steel Horde, and the Torrent, the Fiery Steed ...

"That direction, is it a vocational high school? Oh no!" Gojo Satoru vanished from his spot in an instant and headed towards the vocational high school at top speed.

More than 300 kilometers away in Kyoto, Rakuganji looked at the crimson light that was still faintly visible even hundreds of kilometers away, and the anger and killing intent that spread with the blood-red light. His throat bobbed slightly with fear.

The Ange Nunnery, bathed in a bloody light filled with murderous intent, was chilled to the bone.

The two, and many more sorcerers who witnessed the crimson demonic light, were either drenched in sweat, remained silent, or lay down in immediate relief in their instinctive fear.

The Shibuya Incident and the Death Return Tour were already enough of a headache for them, and now they have another difficult task of unknown origin. How tragic.

Within a 50-kilometer radius of the explosion's epicenter, all cursed spirits below level one were directly exorcised by the cursed power emanating from the cold, blood-red sun.

In more remote places, in mountainous towns far from the city center, all the low- to mid-level cursed spirits that could sense the blood-red light hid away.

I'm afraid they won't dare to do anything evil for the next few days... unless they can't help themselves.

The malice and curses that permeated the world were covered by a larger, more intense, and purer malice and curse, and no more cursed spirits would be born within these areas for a week.

This is the ultimate secret technique that Xia Jie developed based on the Blood Curse Manipulation Technique—

'Extreme Chapter: Dead River, and,

The Ultimate Chapter: Blood Core Fission.

He was a disciple of Zao Kai, a practitioner of Su Nuo.

It also surpasses the stove in power.

While the restrictions on loans certainly played a role, it also deserves the description of "the student surpassing the teacher."

Oh right, even the loan was taught to me step by step by Sukuna-sensei. I, Xia, would like to call Sukuna-sensei the Kaido of the sorcery world.

Well, some of you might be wondering...

How does it compare to Gojou?

Haha, don't make your brother laugh. Although Gojo Satoru is undoubtedly the best at protecting Etotsu and Itajō from the pressure of the higher-ups in the sorcery world, in terms of teaching ability, he is simply not as good as... Toudou Aoi.
